Right, but that means writing, testing, and maintaining them. i'm all for "someone" doing that, but i'm not up for doing it myself. > That's what I do: http://dev.kd2.org/fotoo/ is using > https://fossil.kd2.org/fotoo/wiki?name=about with the JSON API and > generates a static page. > :-D > Personally I have a smartphone with Opera Mini (so no JS), because data > is very expensive here, and Opera Mini is the most widely used mobile > browser in the world I think. > i'm pretty sure my 3DS also has Opera Mini (the DSi does), but i need to dig it out of the cellar (it accidentally got packed up recently) and try it out on the new pages. > As a web developer I can say that nobody should ever rely on JS for > web. i used to think so, too, but after nearly 20 years of writing HTML-only sites (most without a single onclick() handler), i'm soooo ready to move forward. :) > Another point, you're saying that the API is changing all the time, but > don't you plan to make it stable at one point?

Of course it will eventually stabilize (and much of it is already finished or just needs a bit of polish). One of the bullet points i will add in the new docs is that "stability rating" of any given functionality. e.g. the /json/wiki bits are stable but may get extended over time, whereas the /json/tags bits are still likely to change significantly (only experience will reveal what it needs to look like, and those particular functions are very specific to fossil so i have no other basis for comparison like i did with the wiki code). If you have concrete ideas, e.g. things you found missing while working on your site, then i'm all ears. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal
